As for EET -- it's kinda pointless since I prefer BG2 and SoD to BG1. If I am to enjoy my BG games, I prefer to do it separately and I don't want to spend much time merging games, while it's mostly BG2EE I play.

Are... are you me?  I have yet to finish an EET run.  if I run EET, I get through SoD, start BG2, get overwhelmed by new content and/or glitches, and then quit. OR I just play BG2EE.  =D  We appear to be in a minority since all I see anymore is how great BG1 is, and how its better than BG2.  

And no worries, this is what I was looking for.  I'd been splicing together a build based on certain authors so the tone of the writing would stay consistent, and the ones I'd gone with pretty much include most of the ones you mentioned.  Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Since we're speaking hot takes, how do you feel about SCS?  I finally gave it a try.  Got through SoD with it.  Parts I liked, others I didn't.  But the ion BG2EE it seems to lose a lot of its charm and its less about out-strategizing the AI and more about a mix of Rock-Paper-Scissors to penetrate spell defenses, and cheese strats to overcome the tactical encounters....
